Chapter 595 – Episode 62. Graduation Trip – New Nanjing Apocalypse.
The road heading east from the zoo was relatively well-paved, so I ran faster than in the city. As I was running, I looked at SCSMC’s secret research center and saw a charging terminal connected to the back of the giant robot.
At first it wasn’t a homing instinct, why are you here? I thought so, but it seemed like it was programmed to automatically return to SCSMC’s secret laboratory and recharge power.
Pshu…!
The charging connector came off with the sound of the wind blowing, and the giant robot stood up. Then, I slowly turn my head and look at the St. Francis Girls’ Academy buses passing by on the road. And then I started running towards the bus.
“Aaaaah… !”
Because they were watching everything through the window, Jurie Kijimoto and Karen Uenozono, who were filming the scene with a GoPro, screamed. Of course, the rest were also looking at the giant robot running towards them with nervous expressions. There was still some distance, but the running speed was quite fast, so if things continued like this, it would not be long before I was caught by the robot zombie.
“After all, I can’t just pass by?”
I sighed slightly and muttered. And then I looked at Airen Shimokawabe, who was looking at me with an expectant expression.
“We have no choice but to stop it together.”
“Good.”
Shimokawa Beairen knew she wouldn’t refuse since she was a battle fanatic. She must have wanted to try the game she couldn’t do yesterday. I called Yuka Otagi to drive and spoke to her class president, Risa Minamoto, and vice president, Tsubaki Shido.
“You can’t run with that robot attached, so continue towards Shanghai while me and Sensei Shimokawabe block it.”
“Why… “You’re going to do that?”
Risa Minamoto said as if she was frustrated by my words. Tsubaki Shido just looked at me quietly, but seemed to be thinking the same thing.
“Because the only one who can stop it is me? And…”
I paused for a moment and smiled.
“Because I have to do it to protect my precious people.”
“…”
Risa Minamoto said nothing at my words. However, Alric, Diana Saionji, and Shiyo Naruse made a fuss about staying with us, but it wasn’t a secret mission and everyone was watching, so we couldn’t take children who were still in high school with us.
It was convenient for me and Airen Shimokawabe, the nominal adults and people in charge, to go alone.
“Protect your friends now, help them next time.”
“Ryuta, don’t get hurt… ?”
“I’m a teacher! “I can fight too!”
“Okay, I’ll protect my friends.”
Alric was holding my sleeve and telling me not to get hurt, and Shiyo Naruse was yelling that we could continue to fight together.
Saionji Diana understood what I meant and said she would protect her friends. She was, in fact, forced to remain on her bus because only Deanna Saionji, who had cyberimplants, could hold her body to the ceiling of her bus without causing great physical fatigue. Even though this place is on the outskirts of New Nanjing City, there will be cyber zombies rushing at them, so someone who can snipe them before they attack is needed.
“I will stop the robots that come after you, so Classes A, B, and C should not slow down and keep running after the special class bus.”
I used the walkie-talkie to inform the other class following me. Immediately after that, Taira Kanna with a voice that seemed urgent came on the radio.
-Oh, brother! What are you talking about? Are you going to deal with a giant robot like that?
“No, don’t worry, I plan to lure you in like I did yesterday and then run away.”
In fact, I was thinking of destroying it so that it could never come after me again, but I thought Taira Kanna would be worried, so I said I would lure it in like yesterday.
-… All right. Don’t overdo it.
“Okay. Let’s meet later in Shanghai.”
After finishing the radio call, I handed the radio over to Risa Minamoto and then went out through the window of the bus with Airen Shimokawabe.
“You can beat Mr. Shimokawabe, right?”
“Yes, Mr. Yamashiro. I got hurt yesterday too…” .”
As I was talking with Airen Shimokawabe for a while, I saw a bus from another class following me, passing by Airen Shimokawabe, and a giant robot zombie running towards me.
Coo! Coo!
Each step was so threatening that it shook the earth. The robot zombie seemed to have spotted us and slowed down slightly.
“I cut off my right shoulder yesterday… Huh?”
Airen Shimokawabe paused for a moment while pointing to the right shoulder of the robot zombie. She said she had definitely injured it, but she had an iron plate welded to the cut area, as if someone had repaired it.
Airen Shimokawabe also looked embarrassed, but I was also puzzled by this. Apparently everyone in SCSMC’s secret lab was turned into a zombie, and we killed them, but who repaired that robot?
“Even if it is repaired, if it is completely disassembled, it will not be able to rise again.”
“Is it so. If you block our way, we’ll just cut you…”
At my words, Shimokawa Beairen closed her eyes and grabbed the handle along with her scabbard. It seemed like she was going to use Baldo liquor.
Kashimakiichi Shindo-ryu (鹿島鬼一神道流) Battooshōotenkenfuu (抜刀昇天剣風: Baldo Ascension Sword Wind).
As Shimokawa Beairen drew her sword and swung it, her tangible cutting wind flew away. The sword wind that flew with a sharp whooshing sound instantly broke the force field shield of the giant robot zombie. I didn’t miss the opportunity and ran and climbed on the robot’s feet.
-Keeeee!
It was a giant robot that made a strange roaring sound through the speaker and vigorously shook the leg I was clinging to. The movements were very natural, probably because they were synchronized with human movements. Since there was barely any place to grab, I barely managed to hang on and threw my fist out, hitting the robot zombie in the shin.
Kwaaang!
There was a loud noise, but the armor was so thick that it was only slightly dented. It did a little damage, but since I hit it while holding on with one hand, I couldn’t hold on and flew away.
It wasn’t kicked, but it shook its leg so hard that it flew as if someone had thrown it on purpose and fell, destroying a refrigerated truck standing on the road.
If I hadn’t taken the resistance stat today, it would have been really painful… ? It still hurts, but I was able to endure it.
While I was flying away, Airen Shimokawabe was using a tactic of attacking my weak point by cutting on the side of my shin that I had crushed, and suddenly, wow! With the sound of flapping wings, numerous drones flew from SCSMC’s secret laboratory.
“What? “Is this a pattern you’ve never seen before?”
I’ve caught this giant zombie robot a few times in Megacorp’s Youngest Son, but this was the first time I’ve seen a swarm of drones like this. It seemed to be a pattern that appeared when fighting in proximity to SCSMC’s secret laboratory. Until then, I didn’t know about SCSMC’s secret laboratory, so I guess this drone pattern didn’t appear because I just fought in the city center.
Some of the drones that flew in repaired the crooked and cut shins of the robot, while others began shooting at Airen Shimokawabe with guns mounted below. There seemed to be separate escort drones and repair drones.
Definitely fighting near SCSMC’s secret laboratory was more difficult. If you were fighting in the city center, you would have to climb up and hit nearby buildings, but since it was an area where there was only a road, it was more difficult because the attack range was limited to the legs.
In addition, drones came out to harass us and even made robot zombies recover, so the difficulty level increased sharply. He was already a difficult guy, but with a healer and a long-distance supporter joining in, it was bound to be difficult.
It’s quite annoying because the drones fly around like flies, but I have no choice but to trust the telekinetic body I acquired this time and try telekinetic flight. It seemed like I had to deal with the drone swarm first before I could deal with this giant robot zombie.
In general, telekinesis is a method of moving an object you are looking at with mental power, but the reason telekinetic flight is not possible with just telekinesis is because you cannot see your own body and cannot objectify your body.
So, you need traits like telekinesis, but if you don’t practice them, you won’t be able to fly properly. However, it was dangerous if I didn’t do it now, so I thought about giving it a try without practice.
“Off… !”
It seemed more comfortable to bounce and then stay high in the air rather than fly straight away, so I squatted down, tightened my thighs and calves, and jumped up.
Kwaang!
I jumped with such force that the floor cracked, and I had a strong will to support my body using telekinesis…
Uh? Before I knew it, a zombie robot was right in front of me. Before I could do anything, the robot raised its hand and hit me like a volleyball spike.
“Aaaaah!”
I fell to the asphalt floor and vomited blood. I felt pain as if my whole body was being torn apart, but it was okay because I didn’t die. If it were an ordinary person, it would have been crushed red like a hard-thrown tomato, but the combo of regeneration and transcendent resistance stats allowed it to recover quickly.
“Mr. Yamashiro, are you okay?!”
“Yes, it’s okay! Teacher Shimokawabe, be careful too!”
In response to Airen Shimokawabe’s concerns, I lifted my body from the asphalt road. Still, I jumped once again because I had just gotten a little sense of it.
This time, she wasn’t like the volleyball she was given to spike because Shimokawa Beiren caught her attention with her sword strikes.
Perhaps it was because of my willpower, which reached the human limit of 20, or because of the telekinesis I had continuously practiced, that I was able to easily stop in the air.
Two two two!
The escort drones noticed me first and fired their guns to hinder me, but I raised my palm and stopped the flying bullets with telekinesis. In an instant, countless bullets were floating in the air as if they were escorting me.
Perfect!
When he snapped his fingers, the stopped bullets flew again and shot down the drones. I smiled at the falling drones and muttered at the robot zombies.
“I think it’s worth doing now.”
